Do we _really_ need to hold RCU lock over this?
Imposing atomic context restrictions on driver callbacks should not be
taken lightly. I'm 75% sure .ethtool_get_ts_info can only be called
under rtnl lock off the top of my head, is that not the case?

You could check in this loop if TX is supported...

...make this unconditional and conditionally add TX...

..then you won't need this define in uAPI.
